Frequently Asked Questions
I'm worried about data privacy. Do you send my data to OpenAI?
We have a solution for that. While OpenAI is great, we can build your bot using 'Open Source Models' like Llama 3 or Mistral. We host these models on your own private server (or a secure cloud chunk). This means your customer chats NEVER go to OpenAI or Anthropic. You have 100% data sovereignty.
Can I automate my personal WhatsApp number?
We generally recommend the Official WhatsApp Business API for stability and compliance. Automating personal numbers involves significant risk and violates WhatsApp's Terms of Service. We only evaluate this for specific use cases (like high-value founder-led sales) upon explicit request, and we implement strict rate limits and operational guidelines to mitigate risk. We cannot guarantee against bans for personal number automation.
What is the difference between Business API and Personal Automation?
The WhatsApp Business API is the official enterprise solutionβit handles high volumes, allows for team access, and is stable. Personal Automation simulates a user ensuring a 'personal touch', but faces technical limitations and risks. We prioritize the API for any serious business operation.
Will the AI say something wrong?
We use 'Smart Knowledge Lookup'. Before answering, the AI searches your uploaded documents (PDFs, website) for the facts. If it can't find the answer in your data, it is programmed to say 'I don't know' and ask a human to help, rather than making things up.
Is there a risk of my number getting banned?
For the Official API, risk is practically zero if you follow Meta's commerce policies. For Personal Automation (if used), there is always a risk. We strongly advise using the Official API for critical business communication.
Do I need to pay monthly fees?
Our development fee is one-time. However, you will have small running costs for the 'brain' of the bot (likely WhatsApp Conversation Costs + AI API credits). This is usually very affordable, and you pay it directly to the providers, not us. No markup.
Can it integrate with my CRM?
Yes. Since we write custom code, we can push data anywhere. When a lead gives their email or budget, we can instantly send that into HubSpot, Salesforce, or even a Google Sheet row.
How fast can you build this?
A standard AI bot takes 2-3 weeks. If you need a fully private, self-hosted model setup, it might take 3-4 weeks to ensure the infrastructure is perfect.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. Modern AI models are fluent in dozens of languages. You can have a single bot that replies to a Spanish customer in Spanish and a German customer in German, instantly.
What happens if I need changes later?
We provide a support period after launch to tweak things. After that, you own the code. You can hire us for updates, or your own team can manage it.

Finally, a compliant AI solution
We couldn't use standard AI bots due to patient data privacy concerns. AHK deployed a self-hosted local model on our secure server. It handles appointment setting without ever sending data to big tech clouds. Peace of mind is priceless.

We were worried about using AI in a medical setting. The team implemented strict boundaries so the bot never gives medical advice but handles scheduling and general intake perfectly. It saved our front desk hours every day.

Solid performance, great communication
The bot handles driver check-ins and status updates well. We had a few edge cases early on, but the support team fixed them within 24 hours. The system is now running smoothly and has reduced our phone traffic significantly.

My personal assistant
As a solo coach, I couldn't handle the DMs. The automation tool they built lets me focus on coaching while the AI chats with potential students, answers course questions, and sends them the payment link. It paid for itself in week one.

Lifesaver for our conference
We used a WhatsApp bot for attendee FAQs during our 3-day summit. It handled thousands of questions about agenda, wifi, and locations flawlessly. The 'broadcast' feature was super useful for announcements.
